j. vf. 1 -t— U, I THE BELTON JOURNAL: THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1918. Marginal Notes Upon Books Are Sometimes Severe. Readers' Estimate* of the Works hi a Circulating Library Apt to Be Irritating to Author, if He 8aw Them. Not only is the battered condition of certain works of fiction In circulating libraries a surtS proof of their popular- ity, but one taer even gather details from the marginal notes made by feminine renders. It Is not sufficient for the commentatlve pencil to under- score admired passages, observes a writer in the New Orleans Times-Pica- yune; adjectives of praise also are freely if not always discriminatingly bestowed. \ On the closing page of some favorite novel may often be read: "Fine!"

On the other hand, these unprofes- siona...

These bills are the finest that have yet been posted for any Bell county fair and are of var- ious designs, lithographed in colors calculated to direct the attention of the public to this great annual event. There is much benefit to be derived from the competitions between exhibitors at the county fairs and the times provide the ne- cessity for the people of this section of the state to get to- gether and make plans for the future; the county fair* offers the best opportunity they will have for this purpose. Seven counties are to participate in the activities o...

As I have an unlimited experience in clerical work, I feel no hesitancy in asking for your suffrage on my qualifications, and will say here and now, if I am elected and do not make you as good a Tax Col- lector as Bell County ever had, I will not ask your consideration for a second term. I have always stood "Four Square" on all moral issues and have voted for clean men for office from President to Constable. There is no doubt that the race is between Mr. Nelson and myself—and I hope that you have al- ready decided that Mr. Nelson's nine or ten years connection with this office is sufficient and that...
